2 Sarakuna 10
1 To, akwai’ya’ya maza saba’in na gidan Ahab a Samariya. Saboda haka Yehu ya rubuta wasiƙu, ya aika su Samariya, zuwa ga shugabannin Yezireyel, da kuma ga masu lura da’ya’yan Ahab. Ya ce,
And Achaab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Ju wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Achaab, saying.
2 “Da zarar wasiƙan nan ta sadu da ku, da yake’ya’yan maigidanku suna tare da ku, kuna kuma da kekunan yaƙi da dawakai, da birni mai katanga da makamai,
Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms,
3 sai ku zaɓi mafi cancanta a cikin’ya’yan maigidanku ku sa shi a kan kursiyin mahaifinsa. Sa’an nan ku yi yaƙi don gidan maigidanku.”
do you accordingly look out the best and fit among your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master.
4 Amma suka razana suka ce, “Idan sarakuna biyu ba su iya yin tsayayya da shi ba, wane mu?”
And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how shall we stand?
5 Saboda haka sarkin fada, da gwamnan birnin, da dattawa, da kuma masu lura da’ya’yan suka aika da saƙo ga Yehu, cewa, “Mu bayinka ne, za mu kuma yi duk abin da ka ce. Ba za mu naɗa kowa sarki ba; sai ka yi abin da ka ga ya fi kyau.”
So they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Ju, saying, We also [are] your servants, and whatever you shall say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in your eyes.
6 Sai Yehu ya sāke rubuta musu wasiƙa ta biyu, ya ce, “In a gefena kuke, to, sai ku yi biyayya da ni, ku fille kawunan’ya’yan maigidanku, ku kawo mini a Yezireyel war haka gobe.” To,’ya’yan sarki, su saba’in, suna tare da manyan birni waɗanda suke lura da su.
And Ju wrote them a second letter, saying, If you [are] for me, and listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezrael. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city brought them up.
7 Sa’ad da wasiƙar ta iso, sai mutanen nan suka ɗauki dukan’ya’yan sarkin nan saba’in, suka kashe su, suka sa kawunansu cikin kwanduna, suka aika wa Yehu a Yezireyel.
And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezrael.
8 Da ɗan saƙon ya iso, sai aka ce wa Yehu, “Sun kawo kawunan’ya’yan sarki.” Sai Yehu ya ce, “Ku ajiye su kashi biyu a ƙofar gari har safiya.”
And a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door of the gate until the morning.
9 Da gari ya waye, sai Yehu ya fita ya tsaya a gaban dukan jama’a ya ce, “Ba ku da laifi. Ni ne na ƙulla wa maigidana maƙarƙashiya, na kuma kashe shi, amma wa ya karkashe dukan waɗannan?
And the morning came, and he went forth, and stood, and said to all the people, You are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him: but who killed all these?
10 Ku sani fa, ba kalmar da Ubangiji ya faɗa game da gidan Ahab da ba za tă cika ba. Ubangiji ya yi abin da ya alkawarta ta bakin bawansa Iliya.”
See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Achaab: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Eliu.
11 Saboda haka Yehu ya kashe duk waɗanda suka rage na iyalin Ahab a Yezireyel, tare da dukan fadawansa da aminansa da firistocinsa, ba a bar masa kowa ba.
And Ju struck all that were left of the house of Achaab in Jezrael, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant.
12 Sa’an nan Yehu ya nufi Samariya. Da ya kai Bet-Eked na Makiyaya,
And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing in the way.
13 sai ya gamu da waɗansu daga dangin Ahaziya sarkin Yahuda, sai ya tambaye su, ya ce, “Ku, su wane ne?” Suka ce, “Mu dangin Ahaziya ne, mun kuma zo ne mu gai da iyalan sarki da kuma mahaifiyar sarauniya.”
And Ju found the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and said, Who [are] you? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ochozias, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
14 Sai ya umarta ya ce, “A kama su da rai!” Aka kuwa kama su aka yayyanka kusa da rijiyar Bet-Eked, su arba’in da biyu. Ba a bar wani da rai ba.
And he said, Take them alive. And they killed them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man of them.
15 Bayan ya bar wurin, sai ya gamu da Yehonadab ɗan Rekab wanda yake kan hanyarsa don yă sadu da shi. Sai Yehu ya gaishe shi, ya ce, “Ka amince da ni yadda na amince da kai?” Yehonadab ya ce, “I.” Yehu ya ce, “To, in haka ne ka ba ni hannunka.” Sai ya miƙa masa, Yehu kuwa ya ja shi cikin keken yaƙin.
And he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Ju said to him, Is your heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with your heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Ju said, If it is then, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16 Yehu ya ce, “Zo tare da ni ka ga himmata saboda Ubangiji.” Sa’an nan ya sa suka tafi tare cikin keken yaƙinsa.
And he said to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit in his chariot.
17 Da Yehu ya isa Samariya, sai ya karkashe dukan sauran iyalin Ahab, ya hallaka su, bisa ga maganar da Ubangiji ya faɗa ta bakin Iliya.
And he entered into Samaria, and struck all that were left of Achaab in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Eliu.
18 Sa’an nan Yehu ya tattara dukan jama’a ya ce musu, “Ahab ya bauta wa Ba’al kaɗan ne kawai; amma Yehu zai bauta masa sosai.
And Ju gathered all the people, and said to them, Achaab served Baal a little; Ju shall serve him much.
19 Yanzu sai ku kira dukan annabawan Ba’al, dukan masu yin masa hidima da kuma dukan firistocinsa. Ku tabbata ba a manta da wani ba, gama zan yi wa Ba’al babbar hadaya. Duk wanda bai zo ba, a bakin ransa.” Amma Yehu yana wayo ne domin yă hallaka masu yi wa Ba’al sujada.
Now then do all [you] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be lacking: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Ju did it in subtilty, that he might destroy the servants of Baal.
20 Yehu ya ce, “Ku kira jama’a don a girmama Ba’al.” Saboda haka suka yi shela.
And Ju said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation.
21 Sa’an nan ya aika saƙo ko’ina a Isra’ila, dukan masu yi wa Ba’al hidima kuwa suka tattaru, ba mutumin da bai zo ba. Suka yi cincirindo a haikalin Ba’al har sai da ya cika makil.
And Ju sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.
22 Sai Yehu ya ce wa mai ajiyar tufafi, “Ka kawo riguna domin dukan masu yi wa Ba’al hidima.” Sai ya fito musu da riguna.
And he said to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to them.
23 Sa’an nan Yehu da Yehonadab ɗan Rekab, suka shiga haikalin Ba’al. Yehu ya ce wa masu yi wa Ba’al sujada, “Ku dudduba ku tabbatar cewa babu wani bawan Ubangiji a nan tare da ku, sai masu hidimar Ba’al kawai.”
And Ju and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is among you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves.
24 Saboda haka suka shiga don su miƙa hadayu da kuma hadaya ta ƙonawa. To, Yehu ya riga ya ba wa mutane takwas wannan kashedi a waje cewa, “In waninku ya bar ɗaya daga cikin mutanen nan da nake danƙa a hannunku ya tsere, to, a bakin ransa.”
And he went in to offer sacrifices and whole burnt offerings; and Ju set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life.
25 Nan da nan sa’ad da Yehu ya gama yin hadayar, sai ya umarci masu gadin da hafsoshi, “Ku shiga ku karkashe su; kada ku bar wani yă tsere.” Saboda haka suka karkashe su da takobi. Masu gadin da hafsoshin suka wuwwurga gawawwakinsu waje, suka kuma shiga ciki cikin haikalin Ba’al ɗin,
And it came to pass, when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Ju said to the footmen and to the officers, Go you in and kill them; let not a man of them escape. So they struck them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
26 suka fitar da dutsen tsafi daga haikalin Ba’al, suka kuma ƙone shi.
And they brought out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it.
27 Suka farfasa dutsen tsafin Ba’al, suka kuma rushe haikalin, mutane suka mai da wurin salga har yă zuwa yau.
And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until this day.
28 Ta haka Yehu ya hallaka butar Ba’al a Isra’ila.
So Ju abolished Baal out of Israel.
29 Duk da haka, bai rabu da zunuban Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, wanda ya sa Isra’ila ta aikata ba, wato, yin sujada ga siffofin maruƙa na zinariya a Betel da kuma Dan.
Nevertheless Ju departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Baethel and in Dan.
30 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yehu, “Tun da yake ka aikata abin da yake mai kyau a idanuna, ka kuma yi wa gidan Ahab dukan abin da yake a zuciyata, ina yin maka alkawari cewa zuriyarka za su yi mulkin Isra’ila har tsara ta huɗu.”
And the Lord said to Ju, Because of all your deeds wherein you have acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which you have done to the house of Achaab [as they were] in my heart, your sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
31 Duk da haka, Yehu bai mai da hankali ya kiyaye dokokin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila da dukan zuciyarsa ba. Bai rabu da zunubin Yerobowam, wanda ya sa Isra’ila ta aikata ba.
But Ju took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.
32 A kwanakin sai Ubangiji ya fara rage girman Isra’ila, Hazayel ya yi nasara a bisa Isra’ila a ko’ina a yankinsu
In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael struck them in every coast of Israel;
33 gabas da Urdun, cikin dukan ƙasar Gileyad (yankin Gad, da na Ruben, da na Manasse), daga Arower wajen Kwarin Arnon ya ratsa Gileyad zuwa Bashan.
from Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.
34 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yehu, da dukan abin da ya yi, a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Isra’ila.
And the rest of the acts of Ju, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 Yehu ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka binne shi a Samariya. Yehoyahaz kuma ya ci sarauta bayansa.
And Ju slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
36 Yehu ya yi sarautar Isra’ila a Samariya shekara ashirin da takwas.
And the days which Ju reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
